BLACKMAGIC TERANEX MINI AUDIO TO SDI 12G

Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Audio to SDI 12G

• Extract audio from any SD, HD or Ultra HD SDI video connections
• Embed audio into up to 4K SDI signals
• Multirate support: automatic switching between SD/HD/2K and 4K
• Ethernet port for remote control or PoE
• Supports optional LCD Smart Front Panel

Embed up to 2 channels of audio from balanced analog, optical or HiFi RCA, or embed up to or 4 channels of AES/EBU digital audio into any SD, HD, Ultra HD or DCI 4K SDI video connection. Take audio from devices such as audio mixers, iPods and analog decks and embed it into SDI video connections for use with SDI routers and decks.

Next generation 12G-SDI converters with award winning Teranex quality and support for all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. All Teranex Minis include an internal AC power supply, professional XLR analog and AES/EBU audio connections and an ethernet connection for remote management and PoE alternate power.
Teranex Mini features a user upgradable front panel that includes a color display and user controls so you can quickly monitor video and change settings right from the front of the converter. You get all of the same great features of regular mini converters and so much more.

Use Pro Audio Gear with SDI

When you’re integrating pro audio gear such as professional mixers, effects processors, compressors or limiters, you can use Teranex Mini SDI to Audio and Teranex Mini Audio to SDI models to separate the audio from the SDI connection so it can be used by the audio equipment. You can even rack mount the converters under the audio equipment.

The world’s most versatile converters

The all new Teranex Mini converters make building facilities and supporting all different types of video equipment easier than ever before. Teranex Mini is perfect for broadcast installations because they can be rack mounted and the optional front panel lets you see what’s being converted on the screen. They can even be remote managed over ethernet. Their compact size makes them great for portable racks at live events or in broadcast trucks, plus they have professional XLR audio connections for connecting to mixers and other audio gear.

The first mini converter you don’t have to hide

Teranex Minis are so small that you can use them like regular mini converters such as hiding them in cable ducts, behind equipment and attached to televisions for monitoring. Teranex Mini’s new flexible design lets you use them on the desktop where you can see them, or rack mount them in larger broadcast systems. Unlike regular mini converters, you get full size professional XLR audio connections built into the converters, plus each converter has an ethernet connection so they can be administered remotely. You get mini switches so you can change settings instantly or, when you’re doing mission critical work, you can add the optional front panel to see exactly what you’re converting.

The world's first 12G‑SDI rack mount converters

Card based rack converters are expensive, cannot handle high SDI speeds such as 12G‑SDI and you have to buy an entire rack chassis even if you only want to install one converter.
Teranex Minis can be rack mounted in combinations of one or more and you can take them out and use them non rack mounted whenever you need. You get built in AC power and ethernet on every converter so there’s no single point of failure.
Unlike card based converters, you can walk up and change settings from the front panel, monitor the video going through each converter, and you can also manage them remotely over Ethernet. Because they’re so small you can mount them in the front or the rear of an equipment rack or road case.

Easily handles 12G-SDI in tough environments

Teranex Mini features an innovative thermal design with crossflow cooling that keeps them running perfectly, even when rack mounted side by side and in tough environments. An intelligent thermal subsystem and internal heat pipe assist with cooling and keeps the air flowing at all times while minimizing noise. When rack mounted side by side, each Teranex Mini works together to pull air through the rack keeping them all cool and providing redundancy for each converter.

True XLR audio, ethernet and built in IEC AC power connectors

All Teranex Mini converters feature standard, professional broadcast quality connectors, including full size professional XLR audio connections and high speed BNC connections for handling the extremely high bandwidth of cutting edge 12G-SDI technology. All models feature a built in multi volt 90V-240V AC power supply and standard IEC AC power connector so you can use any regular power cable. The built in ethernet connection allows remote administration and can also be used to power the converter when connected to power over ethernet switch.

Truly professional quality audio

The professional XLR connections can be switched between balanced analog or AES/EBU digital audio so you can connect to any professional analog or digital audio equipment.
If you’re running pro digital audio gear, you can keep your audio digital the whole way through for perfect digital quality.
With professional audio built into every converter, you can connect to pro audio gear like mixers, effects processors, compressors, limiters and more into SDI based video systems. For analog audio, Teranex Minis feature an extremely low noise floor of more than -115 dBFS so even analog audio background noise is virtually silent.

Easily control and manage your converters

Like regular Mini Converters, Teranex Mini features built in mini switches and a printed diagram on the converter so you can quickly and easily change settings. When using the optional Teranex Smart Panel, settings can be changed using the push buttons and simple on screen menus. If you’re in a larger facility using lots of converters, you can manage them over ethernet from a Mac or Windows computer using the included Converter Utility software.
